Best drees shirts- large dude

[rjt65]

Hello:

48 L jacket (weightlifter) -large arms (19-20 inch) -- long arms usually a 17.5 and 35 length shirt

---just did suit shirt inventory and jettisoned all white shirts (lil old) so will be replenishing.

Plan to buy the interview suit at J Press or brooks Saturday--will get one white shirt there and tie to match

but than when i get the new job I need to but another 5 white shirts I am thinking (have various colored and/or striped shirts like 5-6)

so thpught son best shirts Prefer shirts in the 50-75$ range if possible --

Is there a big difference between lets say a shirt from jos a Banks and brooks or Press? (will see Saturday)

thoughts?

Robert Talbott is a possibility. Brooks Brothers shirts traditionally offer extra room, though I am not acquainted with their newer lines.

why not try MTM shirts from places like moderntailor.com? you can find many people talk about them here on style forum..

I've had the Brooks Brothers white non-iron (I think the number was 345, I may be wrong)...they are nice shirts, but you can save a few dollars by going with Enro's non-iron shirts. Personally, I prefer the Enro shirt - it feels just a little heavier.

Whether you go with Enro or Brooks Brothers, the BB forum was correct - if they're non-iron, just throw them in the dryer, and pull them out - no iron needed.

If you have a decent local shop, they should have the Enro's available in the $50-60 range. Always seemed to have ample room in the arms for me - I'm not a body builder, so YMMV.

I had a bad experience (with the tailoring) on MTM suits in the past--- and read of a lot of problems from people on this board with shirts.

I might get brave and give it a shot in the future. For the short term I will go off the rack.

thanks!
